   Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, or DEXA [1]) is a means of measuring bone mineral density (BMD) with spectral imaging. Two X-ray beams, with different energy levels, are aimed at the patient's bones.

   A chest radiograph and routine blood tests may indicate complications or precipitating causes and are often performed upon arrival to an emergency department.
